My Creative Mind Has Been Devoured

My original title for this was chapter six of book one, because after this reading the creative part of my mind had been absolutely devoured by the philosophical, theological, and intellectual parts.  I say this not because of difficulty understanding the material, but rather the depth of thought Augustine brought me to.
            Specifically in Chapter six of book one.  The first sentence sums up the idea it says, “ Have I spoken of God, or uttered His praise, in any worthy way?”  To this I would absolutely agree.  Augustine continues in extreme detail - surprised? - Backing up that claim.  I believe that the most important point of that is that God knows that our worship cannot do Him justice at all.  We are not worthy to even speak the name God, yet He allows us to, as Hebrews 4:16 says, boldly come be for the throne of Grace.  How great is Our God?
